What the petition asks
I think that university students should be allowed a reduction of 50% (at least) on their TV license fee. With all the costs associated with university (such as tuition fees, maintenance loans etc.) many students may struggle to afford the current TV Licensing fees.
The UK is in a cost of living emergency. With prices constantly surging, many people are struggling to afford things like the TV License, and uni students are no exception to this. University students have many costs to worry about such as loans and tuition fees, but the TV License shouldn't have to be one of them. Some students may not even be able to get a TV licnese due to the high costs.
I am calling for the government to allow a 50% reduction in TV Licensing fees for uni students.
